Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

If it's a bubble and had a burst I will be all over that. I fucking love financial bubbles and their bursting, especially because in every situation the writing is on the wall early enough to prevent it but people just go "nah."

Centrism is just the cowardly way to be a bigot w/o being explicit about it.
American politics isn't 4D chess, it's just if you give a shit about other people or not.

How... how did people escape college before learning about Tulip Mania? This was common knowledge among my cohort of friends (some of whom haven't graduated high school!) by, like, 10th grade.

Maybe this is why there are so many people of all ages jumping on board the Bitcoin bubble. They don't remember the Housing bubble or the dotcom bubble or Beanie Babies or fucking Tulips... Those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it, and all that.

Kipper und Wipper (German: Kipper- und Wipperzeit, literally "Tipper and See-saw time") is the name given to a financial crisis during the start of the Thirty Years' War (1618–48).[1] Starting around 1621, city-states in the Holy Roman Empire began to heavily debase currency in order to raise revenue for the Thirty Years' War,[2] as effective taxation did not exist.

The name refers to the use of tipping scales to identify not-yet-debased coins, which were then taken out of circulation, melted, mixed with baser metals such as lead, copper or tin, and re-issued. Often the states did not debase their own currency, but instead manufactured low-value imitations of coins from other territories and then spent them in yet other territories as far as possible from their own lands, hoping that the resulting damage would then occur to the economy of those other regions rather than their own. This worked for a while; but after a time, the general public caught on to the manipulation, resulting in pamphlets denouncing the practice, local riots and the refusal of soldiers and mercenaries to fight unless paid in real, non-debased money. Also the states began to get back their own debased coins in taxes and customs fees. Due to these problems the practice largely stopped around 1623; however, the damage done was so large that it created financial disarray in almost all the city-states in the area. The same thing re-occurred on a smaller scale near the end of the century and again during the middle of the 18th century; however, the debasement spread from Germany to Austria, Hungary, Bohemia, and Poland.

i launched sfv ae to try ryu in training mode and i did a cr.mk and saw the range on it and then i alt-f4'd uninstalled threw my computer out the window

yeah

yeah

wait no i forgot they gave him donkey kick
oh each strength of donkey kick does less damage and the same stun as equivalent strength tatsu
and provides a worse knockdown
and is more punishable on block
and has less range

at least ex donkey kick gives you a juggle midscreen!
(wall bounce juggle doesn't work at the corner because ???)
(and I think you only ever juggle with hp dp and nothing else because why would there be any thought or interesting reset options)

Education in the USA is pretty scattered. A lot of it is focused on trying to promote the USA and how awesome it is.

Wow this Tulip Mania thing is actually really cool. I'm sending this idea over to the Extra Credits people to cover it for Extra History. Their South Seas Bubble series was fascinating as shit.

I thought they had one on that already.

Apparently the ones that sold for the most weren't just regular tulips of rare color. They were actually diseased, which caused a unique look. They died really quickly though.

I read a good book about the history of financial crises. They even talked about the etymology of bubble. It isn't just the idea of massive expansion, although that is probably why it stuck around as a word. It's meaning meant something more like to cheat someone else by tricking them before it was used in financial terms.

They remember those more recent bubbles, they just fall into the old "but this time it will be different" trap

I grew up in bumblefuck Indiana! Then again, learning about how "hur hur them furriners done fucked up with Tulips" is somewhat of a "Go Team USA" thing.

i was a little drunk the other day and dude brings in a briefcase. and it has a SNES classic and TV built into it
and plugs it in
and he let me play DKC
and i started crying

I just watched my professor struggle with a smart board for a while. He kept mispressing the scroll wheel and accidentally clicking in the task bar or right clicking. He ends up accidentally opening a new tab with the source from the syllabus page. And he’s looking at it like he broke the computer.

It's a paradigm shift!
